Good to know:

 

Carrots  contain beta carotene and the protective substance falcarinol. These protect the cells and can even improve the texture of the skin. Do not throw away the leaves of the carrot. They contain an enormous amount of vital substances, such as extremely high levels of calcium and magnesium, vitamin A and vitamin K. They can effectively detoxify and tighten the connective tissue. The leaves are suitable as a component of salads, green smoothies or, like parsley, as a decoration on the plate.

Zucchini  are extremely low in calories and should therefore not be missing in any diet! From a mathematical point of view, zucchini does contain some carbohydrates, but on closer inspection these are largely indigestible for humans. Rather, it is valuable, filling fiber. Zucchini can also help detox because of their high potassium content.

Like all types of cabbage,  kohlrabi  is rich in vitamins C, A and K. B vitamins and folic acid, magnesium, iron, calcium and phosphorus, selenium and potassium.

The kohlrabi also contains mustard oils that kill bacteria. The tuber stimulates the metabolism, is good for the bones, detoxifies and drains water.

Walnuts  contain filling protein and minerals. The high-quality omega3 oil and vitamin E it contains protect your cells from free radicals and prevent cardiovascular diseases. Another plus point: biotin in the nuts ensures beautiful skin, hair and fingernails.

Apples  contain around 300 different bioactive substances that are good for the body! Because they are so rich in fiber, which swells up in the stomach and intestines, apples keep you full for a long time and thus support weight loss.
